Binghamton High School offers fourteen Advanced Placement (AP) exams, in addition to classes which focus primarily on passing the Regents Examinations administered by the New York State Department of Education.
In 1997, Binghamton High School became the third high school in New York to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.
The IB program strives to provide students with a balanced education while promoting international acceptance and understanding.
A pre-engineering program called Project Lead The Way is offered to students who are interested. It includes such courses as Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Engineering Design and Development. This is made possible through a partnership between the school and Rochester Institute of Technology. These courses allow students, interested in going into an engineering field, an opportunity to earn college credits and eliminate beginner courses in college.
The Rod Serling School of Fine Arts offers the opportunity to major in visual art, music, theater and dance. Each of these programs have a wide array of groups and talented individuals that regularly perform for the community.
